For the record
I was an elected officer of a Local of the UMWA. Company peole are not just at odds with workers, they hate and despise workers. The look at workers

as a neccessary evil. Every concession a worker got costs the lives of workers before him. Remeber at the turn of the centuery into 1900 that 10, 11

and 12 year olds worked full time in factories and coal mines. That mentality is still there that despises the workers. Joe the plumber did nobody a

favor. ANd Barac did not answer him correctly. They left the impression that you would be paying taxes on $250,000. That would have been $250,000

taxable income. That would be a long stretch for Joe the plumber.
